VetsLady Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'm looking for the link (I know I've seen one, but can't find it) that lists all of the State and Federal benefits a sc Veteran is entitled to by the percentage they are sc with....ie: 0 cost for meds at 50% sc, etc. Can someone point me in the right direction to find it? This is probably a question that is asked often, please accept my apology in advance for not being able to find it. Thank you very much, VetsLady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VetsLady Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Try this taken from the Hadit main page. Bergie Veterans Benefits State & Federal Thank you Bergie....yes, I have seen this before, thank you for the reminder. My plate is so full if I put one more thing on it, it will surely drop and everything will break. What I'm searching for is it seems somewhere, either here on Hadit or on the VA site I saw a table that showed if a Veteran is a 30% they are entitled to.....if 50%........and if 70% they are entitled to and so on. ie: RX, commisary, etc. Maybe it will come to me or, better yet, I'll find the "note to self" about this....in the meantime, I need to find out where this information can be obtained. If I find it, I'll post the link..... SOS! until then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
